More Valentine Cards

Here are some more Valentine Cards:

They both include Sugar N' Spice Marci (LaLaLand Crafts) that I have printed on to card stock and hand coloured with my water colour pencils.

The idea for the first one with Be Mine, came from Tuesday Morning Sketches. Here is the sketch:

The idea for the second, sort of came from Card Patterns! Here is the sketch:

For both I have used:

• a kraft card and envelope from Envelope Solutions
• paper from a Spring Stack from a few years ago by DCWV
• paper frills from Doodlebug Designs
• jewels from my stash
• the card stock (also from Envelope Solutions) has been inked on the edge with aquamarine Vivid! ink
• the same ink is used for Be Mine, stamped with an Antique Alphabet Set by PSX

Both cards will be for sale in my shop on Etsy: JemLou Productions. Here is the link.
This card will also be displayed in the LaLaLand Crafts Customer Gallery.

I have used:

• a piece of paper with hearts from a really old "Spring Stack" from DCWV, which I have adhered to a piece of red card stock, also from DCWV.
• two lengths of red ribbon with silver hearts (Imaginisce) are adhered behind and below the images.
• three jewels are attached to the left top corner of the matted paper.
• finally "be mine" is stamped in raspberry Vivid! ink using an Antique Alphabet stamp set by PSX.

Merry Christmas Card

I have been looking on the internet for inspiration for making cards and have come across a few sites that do challenges every week, where you make a card using a sketch that they provide. So this card is an old sketch from a website called Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I have used:

• a lovely green card
• some red textured card stock
• two papers from a Christmas Stack of paper from a few years ago
• a piece of white card stock, stamped with merry christmas
• a circle of white card stock, stamped with a christmas ornament.

All paper and card stock are from die cuts with a view (DCWV). The merry christmas stamp is from Hero Arts and the ornament stamp is from Jo-Ann Craft Essentials.

  

All card stock and paper has been inked on the edges with red ink from PSX. The merry christmas was stamped with green ink from PSX and the ornament was inked with black Vivid! ink and then chalked.

The white envelope has a circle of white card stock, stamped with a christmas ornament attached to the back flap.
